In Response to Re: The "Energy" Line : What you should have done is left this one alone. Someday you'll learn.Posted by Not-A-Shot

Here it comes ! Will it turn out bad for me again ? Ya you sure showed me that the 28-10-3 record in the 2nd half was not a good one.

Final say for me on this topic : The Devils had a bad start last year and had a good second half . If you would have brought up anything reasonable to dispute this then I might have agreed with you in a small way.

It's a different point of view, that's all. You feel that they had a good second half because they won more games than they lost. I feel that their play was okay against poor competition and therefore the second half wasn't very good.

Another "road to the cup" thread that sees the season as getting more production from the energy line. Wow! And all those GMS out there looking for goal scores and tenders and overloooking their 4th lines as the secret to SC success. S Thornton has more cups than J. Thornton, but he won't be going tothe HOF.

Guys like Hamill who go from 17+ minutes a night in the AHL to 5 to 8 a night in the NHL tend to be putrid. Take a look at Sobotka, great AHL player, here he was lucking to crack the third line and didn't do much. Last season after missing time to get his shoulder repaired he had more points in less games than Seguin, and was on a similar pace to Marchands. This year he's seen some time on their first and second lines,

Either give Hamill, Caron and even Peverley 3rd line or better minutes or don't bother you'll just screw them up.

In Response to Re: The "Energy" Line : Despite this 4 game winning streak, the Bruins still have to climb over three teams to be in a playoff spot, and make up 7 points to have home ice in the first round. Some offensive contribution from the fourth line would come in handy. There will be nights when the spectacular six don't get it done. Depth depth depth.Posted by scooter244
